I like to say I read a bit of everything, but there are still genres and subgenres that I read a lot more than others, so I’ve decided to give a chance to those that I read rarely or never. I’m not going to pick a due date for this challenge because if I do, I will fail, this is just me keeping a list of subgenres that I want to try. I’ll also create a new page for this challenge and update it as I read more books. Subgenres are picked from wikipedia’s list. Some of those I’d never heard of before, so this should be an interesting experiment.

This is an awesome challenge! I haven’t heard of a lot of these genres. It sounds like a great way to branch out and try things you normally wouldn’t. Good luck!
